What you will build
Learn by building.
Each project produces working software you can run, explain and show to an employer.
Production FastAPI service
A validated, documented, and containerised API with authentication, tests, and Pydantic models.
- FastAPI
- Pydantic
- pytest
You can ship a backend service that other applications can consume.
End-to-end deployment
A complete project containerised with Docker and deployed to a live URL with CI/CD in place.
- Docker
- AWS/Azure/GCP
- CI/CD
Your project runs in production and is accessible to real users.
